Anti-spoiler culture has absolutely rotted people's brains. Can't count how many times I'll write a piece about a book that's been out for years or decades, touch upon one of its themes & inevitably get a comment like, "Thanks for spoiling it!" Is giving you the protagonist's name also a spoiler?

-someone, probably
The name is a spoiler.

Who can explain a little?

You got people spoiling things before something is even out/ posting pictures and clips of the ending of shows 10 minutes after it start airing.
And on the other side you got people pissed if the main character name is said.
There's got to be a balance.
Both sides are going wild. I'm not sure if one is a reaction to the other or both weirdly developed at the same time.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
It was a week after the book came out. It was a major actual spoiler for a series I've read for years. And it was unrelated to the article title.
It’s not like I think people should be blasting major reveals and twists across the airwaves or at people who are just starting something / avoiding spoilers.
But I’m sorry, I do want some of my media conversations to go beyond skin deep surface level, and that means talking details.
Man standing into aisle in audience: SPOILERSSSSS
Humans spent millennia telling the same stories over and over; this spoiler obsession is another instance of amusing ourselves to death.
The amount of gasps from people because not everyone has seen the BEST ALIEN HORROR SPACE MOVIE EVER MADE.
I am not making that up
I feel like people worried about spoilers consume media like a pre-critical child.
Also, no one could possibly ever know that as he died alone. Bad movie; no cookie.
